L1-(2):
A Puma at large
/ə/ /ˈpjuːmə/ /æt/ /lɑːʤ/
Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and
/weərˈɛvər/ /ɪt/ /wɛnt,/ /ɪt/ /lɛft/ /bɪˈhaɪnd/ /ɪt/ /ə/ /treɪl/ /ɒv/ /dɛd/ /dɪər/ /ænd/
small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number
/smɔːl/ /ˈænɪməlz/ /laɪk/ /ˈræbɪts./ /pɔː/ /prɪnts/ /wɜː/ /siːn/ /ɪn/ /ə/ /ˈnʌmbə/
of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several
/ɒv/ /ˈpleɪsɪz/ /ænd/ /ˈpjuːmə/ /fɜː/ /wɒz/ /faʊnd/ /ˈklɪŋɪŋ/ /tuː/ /ˈbʊʃɪz./ /ˈsɛvrəl/
people complained of "cat-like noises' at night/ and a
/ˈpiːpl/ /kəmˈpleɪnd/ /ɒv/ /"kæt-laɪk/ /ˈnɔɪzɪz/ /æt/ /naɪt/ /ænd/ /eɪ/
businessman on a fishing trip/ saw the puma up a tree. The
/ˈbɪznɪsmən/ /ɒn/ /ə/ /ˈfɪʃɪŋ/ /trɪp/ /sɔː/ /ðə/ /ˈpjuːmə/ /ʌp/ /ə/ /triː./ /ðiː/
experts were now fully convinced/ that the animal was a
/ˈɛkspɜːts/ /wɜː/ /naʊ/ /ˈfʊli/ /kənˈvɪnst/ /ðæt/ /ði/ /ˈænɪməl/ /wɒz/ /eɪ/
puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been
/ˈpjuːmə,/ /bʌt/ /weə/ /hæd/ /ɪt/ /kʌm/ /frɒm?/ /æz/ /nəʊ/ /ˈpjuːməz/ /hæd/ /biːn/
reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must
/rɪˈpɔːtɪd/ /ˈmɪsɪŋ/ /frɒm/ /ˈɛni/ /zuː/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌntri,/ /ðɪs/ /wʌn/ /mʌst/
have been in the possession of a private collector/ and
/hæv/ /biːn/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /pəˈzɛʃən/ /ɒv/ /ə/ /ˈpraɪvɪt/ /kəˈlɛktər/ /ænd/
somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several
/ˈsʌmhaʊ/ /ˈmænɪʤd/ /tuː/ /ɪsˈkeɪp./ /ðə/ /hʌnt/ /wɛnt/ /ɒn/ /fɔː/ /ˈsɛvrəl/
weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think

countryside.
